150 Killing VIP (V)
◎Can we hide?◎
Bang!
Zhu Ning grabbed Liu Niannian's arm and kicked the mermaid in the face. The face was harder than she had imagined. It didn't look like a human head at all, but rather like some strange creature.
The moment Zhu Ning kicked up, it felt like he had kicked a stone, and his calf felt a little numb.
What's so hard?
With a bang, the mermaid plunged into the water. Other mermaids were already eager to try. For the first time, Zhu Ning realized what it was like to be without weapons, guns, or special abilities.
Is she going to go head-to-head with a merman? The first time it was a merman, the second time it was a merman, the third time it was a merman. Why does she always pick on fish?
"Captain." Zhu Ning called Xu Meng.
Xu Meng had already smashed the glass door of the shop on the street. "Come here."
Liu Niannian didn't need Zhu Ning to urge her, and followed Xu Meng into the shop. Zhu Ning kicked away two more fish and then quickly went into the shop.
The shop is at a higher altitude, and the water level is not high enough now. Dozens of mermaids can only stop at the steps at the door, their faces touching each other, their bodies wriggling and making roars.
It feels like that thing is both human and fish. I couldn’t see the small fish the size of a palm clearly before, but now I can see it more clearly and they have expressions.
Some are angry, some are excited, some are gloomy. There is an old man's face, a young girl's face, and a face with lipstick.
It's really weird. After watching for a long time, Zhu Ning feels that he can no longer distinguish the boundary between humans and animals. Is Bao Ruiming's mind so perverted?
"Find weapons." Xu Meng's voice brought Zhu Ning back to reality.
They need something to protect themselves.
This is a fruit shop, full of tropical fruits. Liu Niannian found a big knife on the fruit stall. I don’t know if it is used to cut watermelon or something else. It is as long as a forearm.
Liu Niannian handed the knife to Zhu Ning. This thing was too gangster-like. Liu Niannian didn't know how to use it and might hurt himself if he was not careful.
Zhu Ning grasped the hilt of the knife, weighed it, and tried to find a comfortable position.
On the other side, Xu Meng had already searched the store for knives. She made herself a simple cloth bag and arranged the props inside in order of size. Xu Meng took a look at it before tying it on her body, and she didn't need to think about it when using it.
As expected, they are professionals. It will probably take Zhu Ning several years to catch up with their combat skills.
Liu Niannian knew his own worth and carried a fruit knife for self-defense.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. There was water in the fruit shop. It seemed that the mermaids had stopped raining and it was just a pure storm outside.
There is no time to find a diving suit now. Even if there is a diving suit, swimming with so many mermaids sounds like committing suicide.
In the vision that Liu Niannian saw, she dug out her own brain in a church. That church was really a bit weird.
Normal people would avoid them, but Zhu Ning and the others were looking for Bao Ruiming, so they went wherever there was something strange.
They must arrive when the church opens.
They definitely couldn't get out through the main gate, so they immediately decided to go upstairs and take a look on the roof first.
This store has a small attic, which is the same as many shops, with business on the first floor and rest on the second floor. Xu Meng took the lead in finding the way to the roof, and Zhu Ning was used to cleaning up afterward.
While Zhu Ning was on guard against the mermaid coming in, he suddenly heard a scream from above.
Liu Niannian was in front of Zhu Ning. She thought that Xu Meng, who was leading the charge, had encountered a monster hidden in the attic. Then she saw Xu Meng wrestling with someone. Xu Meng took ten seconds to unilaterally end the fight.
The knife in her hand was against someone's neck. The person under the knife was a middle-aged man with white hair and gills on both sides of his ears. The gills were opening and closing because of fear.
native.
Zhu Ning made a judgment in his heart that he should be an ordinary person in this world.
Zhu Ning turned on the light in the attic, revealing a pale-faced man who was shivering continuously.
Zhu Ning: "Sorry, we're hiding here from you."
The man nodded quickly, all the while looking at the knives in their hands. To him, these three women were thugs who suddenly broke into his house.
Seeing that the man was not a monster, Xu Meng loosened his hand and put away the knife.
The man asked, "The money is in the cabinet."
Zhu Ning: "No need for money, just come in and hide."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, "You, you are in danger outside."
Zhu Ning heard that he was quite caring. The people on this small island seemed very welcoming and genuine, as if they had never experienced any hardship. There was a strange sense of simplicity. Zhu Ning asked, "Then why are you here?"
Man: "I, I, I, I didn't have time to go home."
The man didn't need to be pressed, he just started to explain: "I took a nap and woke up at almost eight o'clock. I couldn't go back in time, so I locked the door."
This statement was a bit confusing. Zhu Ning took a long time to understand that this person was hiding here.
Everyone had to go home at eight o'clock. The homes of the town residents should be on higher ground, so people on the beach began to evacuate on time when it got dark. Wang Shengli just talked to them for a few words and left.
The locals know that it will rain, and it will also rain fish.
Zhu Ning: "What will happen after eight o'clock?"
Man: "Eight, eight o'clock is the time for them to eat."
The men seemed less scared when talking about the mermaids, but more afraid of them.
Zhu Ning: "You just feed them?"
The man sighed and said, "What can I do? It's just bad luck. I eat fish too."
ha?
The locals are really weird. The man's tone sounded like being eaten was no big deal.
Zhu Ning took a quick look. On the second floor of the fruit shop, there was a place for temporary rest. A small bed was simply built with a wooden board. There were dishes and chopsticks on the table next to it. Zhu Ning noticed a pile of fish bones with his sharp eyes.
The fish bones seemed to be piled up like a mountain.
Zhu Ning began to get confused. The man in front of him was a human with fish gills, the fish-headed fish outside was a fish with a human face, and there were fish bones on the table.
What does this mean? The food chain?
The big fish ate the small fish and the small fish ate the shrimp. Zhu Ning felt like he was watching a strange oceanarium show.
Zhu Ning recalled that the residents of the island were all very relaxed, with very natural smiles on their faces, and combined with the man saying that he was going to be eaten.
But if you think about it carefully, if you understand this world as an ocean, the little fish can live a happy, relaxed and comfortable life every day.
They may only be afraid when they are alone or before dying, or they may not even be afraid. Zhu Ning has been watching science documentaries since he was a child, and it is difficult to tell whether the fish in the documentaries are afraid or not.
Imagine that everyone in this world thinks they are alive. They are born with gills and eat fish caught from the sea, but they all abide by a certain custom. They must return to their homes before 8 o'clock in the evening and not wander around. Those who wander around will automatically become food for the human-headed fish.
This world is a little... perverted.
Is this what Bao Ruiming’s inner world is like?
Zhu Ning was certain they were also part of the food chain. If she hadn't known she was a "virus" that had infiltrated the food chain, she would have wanted to feel the sides of her ears to see if she had gills.
The man asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhu Ning: "Church."
The man muttered, "Only crazy people like to go to church."
While Zhu Ning was talking to him, Liu Niannian was rummaging around the fruit shop. He didn't find any diving equipment, but he did find three black raincoats.
They had been struggling for so long that the accumulated water was almost spreading to the second floor, and the merman was hitting the wooden stairs, making crackling sounds.
Zhu Ning had already climbed the stairs with one hand, and before leaving, he asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Although the man was just an NPC, Liu Niannian said that they felt they were living people. Shouldn't living people have an instinctive reaction to escape?
The man stared into the darkness and locked eyes with one of the mermaids. "I'm not leaving."
The man knew his fate, he would become food.
Bao Ruiming constructed a weird but harmonious world, where all creatures in the food chain are calm, and at some point, the boundaries between humans and fish are completely lost.
Is Bao Ruiming continuing his experiments here? If so, where is he?
What role will he play in this food chain?
With a loud bang——
Xu Meng pushed open the iron door on the roof. As soon as he opened the door, a violent storm came from outside. It was difficult for him to stand steadily when he stepped on it.
They were prepared down there, and there might be mermen on the roof as well.
When they opened it, it was true. The mermaid opened its mouth wide and tried to bite them when it saw them. Liu Niannian was frightened when she saw the mermaid, and her hand holding the knife was shaking.
Xu Meng held a knife across his chest. At the moment the mermaid took off into the air, he raised his hand and swung the knife, and a cold light flashed.
With a click—
The mermaid was cut off at the neck, with its head and tail separated. The tail of the fish moved reflexively, and its head rolled off the roof like a watermelon.
Xu Meng is good at using a knife. Her cuts are crisp and clear. She can make an ordinary machete look like a century-old knife.
Xu Meng was basically in a state of killing indiscriminately. For the first time, Zhu Ning experienced having a reliable teammate leading the charge, while he really just stayed behind to cover the rear, saving a lot of effort.
From here, you can see half of the church's tower. Zhu Ning's data analysis is online, and the nearest route is quickly planned.
They didn't have diving suits, and it was still raining heavily. They had to reach their destination before the accumulated water flooded the roof, so they only had to deal with the monsters on the roof.
Zhu Ning and Xu Meng cooperated well in the Mechanical Oceanarium, and this time their tacit understanding was even better.
If you look from an outsider's perspective, you can only see three women in black raincoats moving back and forth on the eaves.
They seemed to have undergone some kind of training, like three butchers on a rainy night.
Xu Meng, who took the lead, killed the monsters quickly, Liu Niannian in the middle tried not to fall behind, and Zhu Ning at the back dealt with the remaining mermaids.
The path they walked through was filled with blood and broken limbs, and the heads of the mermaids were all severed.
This would definitely be considered strange and would probably attract the attention of the inspection team soon.
There is not much time left for them.
The roofs were connected together. The route planned by Zhu Ning was very effective. When they reached the end, the church spire was right in front of them.
On stormy nights, the barnacles on the church walls looked like goose bumps or the skin of a toad.
The church spire was covered in the corpses of several mermaids with blood dripping down the eaves along with the rain.
There was a faint light coming from the door and windows, like the golden pupils of a sleeping nightmare.
The moment Liu Niannian saw the church, her face turned pale and her lips trembled a little. She heard it again, something calling her.
She felt a pain in her head and she seemed to be losing control.
Xu Meng also felt unwell. Cats have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and the crisis warning buried in her blood was warning her.
run!
Get out of here immediately.
Xu Meng was a little tired after fighting his way here. He had no special powers and no guns. In a strange world of consciousness, he could even feel his physical energy draining away. This was definitely not a good sign.
Under the raincoat that Zhu Ning couldn't see, Xu Meng's left leg was injured, with a hole bitten by the mermaid.
Zhu Ning stared at the church silently. Her mental state was not affected. Instead, she had an intuition that Bao Ruiming must be inside.
The world he created has a food chain in which the genes of fish and humans are intertwined. As the creator, Bao Ruiming should be in the place where God is.
The clock on the church showed that it was 10:13 pm, which was opening time.
If there was no conscious being here, Xu Meng or Liu Niannian could have waited outside, but the situation they were facing now was that there was no way to escape.
They were deeply trapped in Bao Ruiming's mind.
Xu Meng had already jumped off the roof. The church was located on a higher ground and there was not much water. However, there were still many mermaids that had fallen from the sky and were lying on the grass to breathe.
I guess the church will be flooded in a while.
When they reached the church gate, all three of them were almost soaked, with their foreheads covered in broken hair and their bodies soaked in cold rain water.
Zhu Ning felt that Xu Meng's face was a little pale, and guessed that she might be injured. Xu Meng had fought all the way here without wearing protective clothing, so she must have been injured.
All captains are like this. If they get injured, they won’t tell the team members so as not to affect the team.
So Zhu Ning didn't ask her in public.
Zhu Ning took the lead this time. She silently blocked Xu Meng behind her and knocked on the church door.
"Hello," Zhu Ning said, deliberately making his tone sound a little terrified, like a tourist visiting the island and seeking help after encountering a mermaid. "Can we go inside and hide?"
No one replied to her.
Zhu Ning exchanged a glance with Xu Meng. She hid the machete under her black raincoat and carefully pushed open the door.
With a sound of yelping——
The church door opened, revealing the inside, where two rows of chairs were filled with people.
They were dressed in red and had wide hoods with very obvious pointed corners on their heads.
They sat closely together, hands clasped together, like some underwater creatures. Zhu Ning's voice didn't even startle them. They maintained their original postures, and no one even tried to look back at the unusual thing at the door.
Only Zhu Ning had spoken, so her voice kept echoing in the church.
"Hello, can we go inside and hide?"
"Hello, can we, go in and hide?"
"Hello……"
The first time I heard it, I thought it was an echo, but after listening for a while, I realized it was completely different. It was Zhu Ning's voice, and she kept repeating this sentence.
She used different tones, becoming more and more frightened and helpless, like a desperate cry for help from a small animal.
"Can we hide?"
Zhu Ning heard her own voice, but the problem was that she didn't speak at all.
With a loud bang——
There was another loud thunder outside, and the white lightning illuminated the entire church, casting shadows on everyone's face.
